Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
            [Intro]
G   G   Em   Em   C   C   D   D


[Verse 1]
     G                                    Bm
I remember when rock was young,    me and Susie had so much fun
        C                                D
Holding hands and skimmin' stones  had a old gold Chevy &amp; a place of my own
        G                                      Bm
But the biggest kick I ever got    was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
          C                                                D
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock we were hoppin' and

boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well


[Chorus]
Em                                                A7
Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still
D7                                 G
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
E                                        A7
Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7                               F C F C F C
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.


[Interlude]
G   G   Em   Em   C   C   D   D


[Verse 2]
        G                                 Bm
But the years went by and rock just died, Susie went and left me for some foreign guy,
C                                        D
Long nights cryin' by the record machine dreamin' of my Chevy &amp; my old blue jeans but they'll
G                                        Bm
Never kill the thrills we got    burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
         C                                        D
Learning fast as the weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well


[Chorus]
Em                                                A7
Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still
D7                                  G
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
E                                        A7
Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7                               F C F C F C
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.

        G  on the D chord [dropping the F#]
